The Assassination of Ryan McDonagh by the Coward Wayne Simmonds Part II: St. Valentine's Day Massacre.

Is this what we're getting tonight?

 

[Garbage Goal]

I get so tired of hearing that this team has crap players. We all said the Devils had crap players and were going nowhere this year. Well, we have a rookie coach and two assistants tha didn't make us competitive last year. Our defensive scheme sucks and our offense think every shot has to be a highlight shot. We probably have one of the best goalie tandems in years, although I think Nuvy should be the starter. There is enough offense if we played smarter to make the playoffs. How many times are we going to say "just wait until our young guys come up". In the meantime our current players get long in the tooth. No, now is a good time to stop making excuses and play hockey, stop trying to play this Silly finesse game. I've never seen a team pass up so many shots to make risky passes.

The Devils have a great coach, an absolutely elite goalie, and a pretty good defense and solid forward depth albeit completely lacking in top-end forwards. The only stuff they're really dying for are those top-end scoring forwards. Conversely, we have no depth whatsoever at forward, our D is pretty bad for the most part, and while our goalie tandem is great and possibly the best tandem in the league neither are up to the level of Schneider I would say.

Last match-up of the year so no possibility for Part III: Revengeance

 

[Beef Invictus]

Pro Tip: Probably best to just not go to the Rangers board or say anything there. Unless you are sincerely being polite, no good will come of it. If any of them come here, ignore them, report the post, and we will deal with it with extreme violence as per the norm.


That out of the way, I expect very little will happen. Simmonds will fight someone at most, the game will continue as usual. That's how it goes, IF it goes. We've seen it countless times around the league.

**** the Rangers. Punish them all tonite.

I just treat the boards of rival fanbases like a day at the zoo.

Look, don't touch.

Me too and it's a must look today, pure comedy gold

 

[DayoftheGreek]

**** the Rangers. Punish them all tonite.

For once I agree with you. Lets go Flyers. Pumped up for this game. Playoffs or not I need more hate in my hockey games.

 

[Tripod]

Watching a pre-game show here in Canada.

It was showing Simmonds and McIlrath having a little conversation at center ice.

Setting the stage? I really hope Simmonds doesn't get beat to a pulp by him.

Did you hear Ron Maclean? Im pretty sure I heard him say Simmonds sucker punched McDonagh, but he didn't bring up the cross check to the head of course.

Ron Maclean is just as big of an idiot as Cherry. He's just on the opposite side of the spectrum as the PC guy.

He won't get beaten to a pulp, will most likely lose though. I just hate the trade off of top scorer for a #7 Dman. White better step the **** up tonight for once.

Canadian media in a whole aren't Flyer fans. I'm still shocked there was no mention of Ghosts record last night on CBC.

 

[CodyTheHuman]

JR still doesn't think Mason is a #1

 

[Sombastate]

Roenick is an offing moron

 

[FLYERSG]

**** the Rangers. Punish them all tonite.

Well said

 

[Flyerfan4life]

Masons not a #1 goalie...


#facepalm...


dude seriously is sooo underrated

 

[Flyerfan4life]

i hope there is a glove drop on the opening puck drop... to set the tone

 

[Jray42]

What the hell did Mason ever do to JR? My god

 

[Rebels57]

A) What kind of question is "Is Mason a #1 goalie?"

He's the #1 goalie of the Philadelphia Flyers. He is statistically one of the top 10-15 goalies over the past 3 years. He is very clearly a #1 goalie.

B) What kind of answer is "No" to the above question?

Whether this is sports or politics, this is the behavior of ALL the media. There is no integrity. It is revolting.
